To love oneself is to struggle to rediscover and maintain your uniqueness

I'm patient when it comes to my career, which is unlike me, but there are no stars in my eyes. I make where I go. It's that sort of thing.

I realized that people had an unreal image of me, that somehow I was a god on Mount Olympus. I decided that if I were going to make use of my role as a Supreme Court Justice, it would be to inspire people to realize that, first, I was just like them and second, if I could do it, so could they.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.

You have been given your own work to do. Get to it right now, do your best at it, and don't be concerned with who is watching you. Create your own merit.

A lot of jobs don't allow you to be who you are. There is dignity in work only when it is work freely accepted.

Every member must work or quit. No honorary members.

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.
